What This Estimate Means

At 5 ft 9 in (175 cm), 187 lb (85 kg), and a lightly active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 2,336 calories per day. It shows how a person's estimated calorie needs reflect their measurements and activity rather than age alone.

Practical Tip

If your work and exercise routine have changed over the years, base your activity selection on what you do now. Revisit the estimate after a lasting change in walking, training, or work demands instead of relying on an older calorie target.
